BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER,
ESTABLISHED MARCH 1, 1814. Published every Morning, except Sundays. .. annum in advance.
.. Terms, $8.00 per
NATHAN HALE AND CHARLES HALE, EDITORS. CHARLES HALE, Publisher.
This is a first-class newspaper of the largest size pub- lished in Boston. It is printed upon new type, obtained in December last ; upon white paper, of the best quality used for newspapers. The BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER iS conducted with care and diligence, and is believed to pos- sess a favorable character wherever it is known. With the introduction of the new type, a new order of arranging the contents has been adopted, which allows of a consider- able increase in the quantity of reading matter, and enables us to present the news as received at the latest hour, in the fullest extent, without inconvenience, and without curtailing the space devoted to the various regular departments of intelligence. While. we propose to retain all the old characteristics of the paper, which have given it its favorable reputation, we expect to introduce such new features as shall make it approach as nearly as possible the highest standard of excellence for a daily newspaper pub- lished at the present day in the capital of New England.
Every effort is used to present in the columns of the BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER the News of the day, with full- ness, freshness and accuracy, and, further, to discuss the topics of the day freely, fairly, and with independence, at the same time that the utmost care is taken to express no opinion which is not formed after careful personal examina- tion by the editors of the subject under consideration.
The attention of the public is respectfully called to the following characteristics of the BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER :
1. Its editorial articles, which are numerous, written with care, and express only the opinions of the editors. No pay is ever received for anything appearing as editorial.
2. The regularity and fidelity with which all public doc- uments and matters of permanent value are presented in its columns.
3. The copiousness of its summaries of foreign intelli- gence, which are prepared with laborious care from ample materials.
4. The perfection of its marine intelligence. Its leading position in this department is believed to be generally ad- mitted without question.
5. The accuracy and independence of its financial and commercial intelligence, which is so prepared as to remove it beyond suspicion of aiding individual interests.
6. The accuracy and fulness of its legal and legislative reports. Many important judicial decisions are given in full in its columns.
7. Its literary intelligence, and the impartiality of its notices of books, pictures, public amusements, &c.
The BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER is not a party " organ," but has supported to the utmost of its ability the policy of the whig party, from the earnest conviction that that was the best adapted for the welfare of the State and Nation.
An arrangement has been made for the exclusive publi- cation in the BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER of special despatches from Washington, from a correspondent enjoying unusual facilities for obtaining fresh and correct information at the seat of government. These are additional to the regular telegraphic despatches. Arrangements have also been made for the exclusive publication of a weekly tabular statement of the imports of foreign goods at Boston, show- ing the quantity and value of each article. This is in addition to the regular daily report of imports, and is the only regular publication which shows. by figures, the amount and extent of the foreign commerce of Boston.
The SEMI-WEEKLY ADVERTISER and WEEKLY MESSENGER contain substantially the same reading matter as the DAILY ADVERTISER, but less space is occupied with advertisements, of which very few appear in the WEEKLY MESSENGER.
The weekly statement of the condition of the banks in the City of Boston, and the monthly statement of the banks in the State of Massachusetts out of Boston required by the law of the State, are published by authority in the BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER, and also appear without delay, in the SEMI-WEEKLY ADVERTISER and WEEKLY MESSENGIR. These papers are printed for mailing on a sheet weighing " not over 12 ounces," and are accordingly chargeable for postage at the lowest rate, viz., a quarter of a cent for each paper within the State, when paid quarterly in advance.
A quarter's subscription to the daily, postage included, thus costs but $2.20; to the semi-weekly, but $1.07; and to the weekly, but 54 cents. Persons residing in the coun- try are invited to try the experiment of a subscription to a Boston paper for this period, at these rates.

[ From the National Intelligencer. ]
THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER .- A paper so wise, so in- structive, so cautious and so truthful, deserves every suc- cess ; and its success is a credit to the community which it ably serves and enlightens.
[ From the Albany State Register.]
THE . BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER .- It is one of the very best newspapers in the United States, and we take the liber- ty of rejoicing in its prosperity.
[ From the New York Shipping List. ]
THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER .- The Daily has long since acquired the reputation of being the best marine journal in the country, and as a literary and political pub- lication, it ranks deservedly high.
[ From the Yarmouth Register.]
THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER -We are unable to dis- cover any points in the witticisms that are sometimes at- temped at the expense of the "Advertiser,"' implying that it is lacking in enterprise in the collection of the news of the day. A glance at its columns will show that it is fully up to the mark, and its matter is evidently prepared with much care ; while in one department, and an important one to Cape readers-we refer to the shipping intelligence .- it unquestionably excels all its contemporaries in the fresh- ness and accuracy of its reports. This department is under the direction of Mr. J. A. Ballard, the best shipping re- porter in the country.
[ From the Vineyard Gazette.]
THE . BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER has appeared in a new dress and looks remarkably well. The "Advertiser " is unquestionably the best paper in Boston, and we rejoice at this renewed evidence of its prosperity.
[ From the Charleston ( S. C.) Courier.]
THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER, one of the best journals in the country, made its appearance a day or two ago printed throughout in new and beautiful type.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY [OF THE BOSTON JOURNAL.
"It is one of the best newspapers in New England."-Boston Atlas.
" They are always up to the times; no news escapes their no- tice."- Boston Courier.
" The Journal is a model newspaper-readable, reliable and enterprising."-Lowell Courier.
"One of the ablest and most judicious of American newspa- pers."-Salem Gazette.
" It is a valuable paper; one that hundreds of our citizens value as a household god."- Manchester Mirror.
" One of the best and most enterprising papers in the country. There are more than twice the number of copies of the Journal sold in Bath, than either of the other Boston dailies."-Bath Times.
" The Journal is a general favorite in this community."-Haver- hill Gazette.
" Its morning and evening issues are numbered by thousands, and they are found scattered all over New England."-Newport Mercury.
" In general news articles, we rely more upon the Boston Jour- nal than upon all other papers."-Concord Reporter.
" The Journal has grown in influence and circulation until it
is recognized as one of the best and most influential dailies in the United States."- Boston Herald.
" From a very limited circulation the Boston Journal has at- tained an influence and a popularity equalled by few papers in New England. In this city it is as familiar as any of our own lo- cal papers."-Providence Journal.
" As the Boston Journal keeps well posted up in all such mat- ters, the impatience of our citizens to get it, bordered on fanati- cism. Some of the copies were sold three or four times over, and in some instances for twelve and a half cents each."-R. I. Free- man, at the time of the Burns riot.
" Boston boasts more newspapers in proportion to her popula- tion than any other city we know, and none of them is worthier of success than the Journal. The industry, enterprise, talent and tact, that go to make a useful and popular paper, it possesses in abundance .- N. Y. Tribune.
"It is beyond all question the very best paper published in this city, celebrated as Boston is for the superiority of its news- paper press."-International.
" We regard the Journal as the model newspaper of Boston." -Portland Advertiser.
